Harriet Law
November 5th, 2012
On this date in 1832, Harriet Law
was born in the United Kingdom. She and her husband, Mr. Law, attended
lectures at Secular Hall in order to debate the speakers, and wound up
being deconverted. Together they worked for secular causes and for 30
years she was the only "woman secularist" in England. According to
freethought historian Joseph McCabe, "she had to endure much insult and
even assault." She edited the Secular Chronicle in 1878. D. 1897.
